      There is no reason to be like that. If you come across a joke that makes you laugh then please share it with the rest of us, dont worry about the downvotes, I sometimes post jokes knowing they are going to be downvoted, please see my post below about the chef. :)

        In one of my previous jobs, one day I was assigned an old project, dozens of C files. I typed furiously all day. All I did was move

        if (...){

        to

        if (...)
        {

        NULL

          To slow the typists down. Back when typewriters were manual, fast typists would jam the keys.

              Interesting enough that people like the "wrong keyboard" but do not want a new design.

                            Some IDE leaves the "{" on the same line of "if" by default. I do not remember which one. Current visual studio certainly does not do that.

                              Back when I designed VDT's, I had to do a special keyboard layout : A-J, K-S, T-Z. The Coal Board - if the keys were qwerty then the union wanted clerical pay for using them...

                                The Dvorak[^] keyboard has a layout designed to be faster and easier to use. I've heard of a few people using them but haven't tried one myself.

                                      It might be hard to do due to the mismatch between the physical keyboard and Dvorak system.

                                        Well, there is a layout designed for programmers with braces and operators on the number keys (numbers require a shift). Yes, you would need to buy a physical keyboard with the Dvorak layout, but after reading the page I think i'll look into getting one (a large portion of that last line was right handed and required several hurdles.) And apparently most operating systems today support the Dvorak layout. And I don't use the ctrl-X/C/V for cut copy and paste, I've always found using the ctrl-insert, shift-insert, and shift-delete more intuitive.

                                          It might be hard to do due to the mismatch between the physical keyboard and Dvorak system.

                                          That just means you really have to learn to touch type. :cool:
